Boosting my NJHS activities—any examples?

Hi! I'm a member of NJHS in my school, and I want to be more active. Can you guys share some examples of activities that worked really well in your schools? I'd appreciate your help!

Hello! It's great that you're looking to be more active in your National Junior Honor Society chapter. Here are a few examples of activities that I've seen work well in schools:

1. Community Service Projects: Organize volunteer events such as park clean-ups, beach clean-ups, or partnering with a local food bank. NJHS members can work together to make a positive impact on the local community.

2. Tutoring and Peer Mentoring: Offer tutoring services or provide peer mentoring at your school. This not only benefits your fellow students by helping to improve their academic performance but also demonstrates your commitment to strong academic achievement and leadership.

3. Fundraising Events: Coordinate fundraisers such as bake sales, car washes, or even a fun run to raise money for a worthy cause or to support school initiatives.

4. School Spirit Events: Encourage school spirit through the organization of pep rallies, spirit week activities, or even offering support during sports competitions. This can help bring students together, increase school morale, and create a more positive atmosphere at your school.

5. Visiting Senior Citizens: Organize group visits to local nursing homes or senior living communities, where NJHS members can interact with seniors, listen to their stories, and even perform activities such as singing or playing games with them.

6. Book Drives: Collect gently-used books and donate them to local libraries, schools, or underprivileged children. This promotes literacy and a love for reading in your community.

7. Environmental Initiatives: Plan environmental events or initiatives, such as tree planting, recycling campaigns, or raising awareness about climate change and other environmental issues.

Remember that it's important to get feedback from other NJHS members and gain approval from your NJHS advisor when planning and executing these activities. Good luck, and I hope these examples inspire you to take a more active role in your NJHS chapter!
